Tucked onto a corner third-acre lot in one of Troy’s most sought-after pockets — a neighborhood of mature, canopied trees and generous spacing between homes, where impressive newer construction continues to reshape the streetscape and lift values along the way. This charming 3-bedroom bungalow lives comfortably, with a main-floor bedroom plus two bedrooms up, and sits inside the Blue Ribbon Wattles Elementary, Baker Middle, and Troy High boundaries — Wattles is within walking distance. Replacement vinyl windows run throughout, and outside you’ll find a cement patio and a deck made for outdoor living, garden space, a raised floor storage shed, and a detached 2-car garage with its own electrical panel. The big-ticket items are already handled: the roof on both house and garage was put on @ 7 years ago (2019), the sewer line to the street @ 7 years, the furnace @ 8 years, the A/C @ 15 years, and the crawl space was encapsulated @ 10 years ago. All appliances stay, washer and dryer included. With the land, the location, and the lasting quality already in place, it’s ready to enjoy as-is or reimagine as the neighborhood keeps trending upward. Buyer to verify all information; not warranted.

One of the last remaining sites in the Woodlands of Groveland — a gated community of rolling, wooded parcels just off paved Barron Road. This one-acre-plus lot was cleared and ready to build, with a site well suited to a walkout basement. Much of the groundwork was already in place: paved private roads, underground utilities, natural gas at the street, a rough driveway base installed, and a recent perk test on file. Build requirements run to 2,000 square feet for a ranch, 2,200 for a 1.5-story, and 2,400 for a two-story, with exteriors of wood, brick, or stone and plans approved by the association board. Ranch home plans had already been drawn up. Minutes to I-75, historic downtown Holly, Mount Holly skiing, Clarkston, Fenton, and Grand Blanc — with fresh eggs and honey right down the street.
